Publication number: 20240017397Abstract: A system for assisting an operator in exerting efforts comprises a garment that can be worn by the operator, which is to engage, when worn, the mutually mobile parts of a joint of the operator. The system defines at least one axis of rotation that is to assume a position corresponding to the joint of the operator. A device is carried by the garment and designed to operate so as to compensate the resistive moments that act on the joint during the effort exerted by the operator. A compensation device is provided equipped with a rotational assembly, which has a neutral position and is able to determine a pre-set plot of the assisting torque that is a function of the angle of rotation of the joint. The compensation device may include a tension regulation device to regulate a moment obtained about the joint of the operator.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Matteo MOISE, Luca MORELLI, Francesco GIOVACCHINI, Nicola VITIELLO, Giuseppe COLOMBINA
